WizFX source code available

Yep, it's finally here! It should be available from the Others section of the Downloads pages soon.

But in the meantime you can download it here: http://www.pvr-tools.com/freeware/WizFXsrc.zip

I have imported the WizFX source code into an openwiz.org SVN repository at

http://svn.openwiz.org/svnroot/wizfx/trunk

There is also a wiki and bug reporting facility at:

http://trac.openwiz.org/wizfx

If anyone would like write access to this svn repository, just let me know.

I hope that we can use this repository collaborate on the creation of a Linux command line version of wizfx.

I already have a start on that - in Perl, so it will work on MacOS, Cygwin, other Unix and (at a pinch) Windows if anyone wants to. I already have the decoding of the header.tvwiz and trunc files coded, and now with the trunc files, I know which 0000, etc, files to download.

Excellent - I love doing things like this in Perl.

The slugimage tool which packs and unpacks NSLU2 firmware images is written in Perl:

Is it just me or is this code remarkably free of any comments, particularly if you are releasing it to the public.

When I learnt to program last century you had to at least give a one-liner explaining what a procedure does.

Perhaps all the comments were in Korean and got stripped out along the way?

No pain, no gain

The WizPnP protocol document does help a bit in understanding the WizFX code. Part of the problem is that there's a lot of clutter from the GUI code in WizFX.

[self-promotion]There's a bit more information about the information in the recording header files in the Openwiz Recorded Files page, and the getWizPnP Perl codeis a bit better commented than WizFX, and it doesn't have all the GUI clutter. On the other hand, its WizPnP search function doesn't work properly.[/self-promotion]
